first, i'd like to point out that i *have* scoured the faqs and two
years of message archives trying to find the solution to this problem.
and my environment variables must be set correctly or i'm going daft.  i
know ENOENT problems most likely mean either incorrect environment
variable settings or incorrectly unzipping/installing the packages, so
i've gone to great lengths to check and see that i've done everything
according to the FAQs and readmes.

i've installed djgpp before on win98 and everything ran fine.  just
recently, however, i cleaned off my hard drive and did a clean install
(os decay is a pain).  when i reinstalled djgpp, much to my dismay, i
ran into a couple of errors running certain tools (specifically gcc.exe
and make.exe)...since i will try and be as thorough as possible in
describing this problem, there will be a lot to read...

first, here are the packages i've installed, unzipping them using WinZip
7.0 (i've checked them multiple times to see if they are indeed the
right package and that i've unzipped them to the correct location while
keeping the directory structure intact):
alleg31.zip
bnu281b.zip
djdev202.zip
faq211b.zip
gcc281b.zip
gdb416b.zip
gpp281b.zip
grx23.zip
grx23fnt.zip
lgp2811b.zip
mak377b.zip
objc281b.zip
rhide14b.zip (also alternatively tried rhid147b.zip)
rsxdj131.zip
txi312b.zip

environment variables ARE set...this is the output from running "set" at
the command line:
TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM

PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\DEV\DJGPP\BIN
windir=C:\WINDOWS
BLASTER=A220 I2 D1 H7 P330 T6

the verbose error message from gcc:

the error message from trying to make the allegro runtimes are even more
interesting...

Missing djgpp package! You need to install djdev201.zip (or whatever the
latest version is). Download this from wherever you got djgpp, and unzip
it into the root of your djgpp directory.

i'm at a loss for words here, folks...personally, i didn't want to post
to the ng unless *absolutely* necessary.  but, i've been tearing my hear
out for the past 24 hours, and i haven't been able to come to a
resolution.

any helpful suggestions or flames will be appreciated...
